  1. Re:I could presumably count the pixels? on Can You Tell the Difference? 4K Galaxy Note 3 vs. Canon 5D Mark III Video · · Score: 1

    Some of the scenes it obviously showed the limited number of stops presented in the note3 video. Scenes with both shadows and full sunlight.

    Overall though I was surprised at how close the two video's where.

    $ apt-get upgrade

    Hmm, I think that would be
    $ sudo yum -y update :-)

    It is probably factually true, there are most likely 10's of 1000's of whom they do not have any data stored or searched.

  8. Re:They have to ban Windows in EU on EU Set To Charge Microsoft Over Ruling Breach · · Score: 1

    You obviously need other reasons than usability to explain market share on the desktop.

    The usability of the Linux desktop surpassed Windows well over a decade ago, but as you correctly point out adoption rates are close to zero. Even Apple which has arguably better usability than Windows have a very small share of the desktop.

    Clearly usability has *nothing* to do with market share.

  9. Re:Looks nice so far on Apple Announces iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but will it run JB, or is it ICS?

  10. Re:Ha ha he he on Linux 3.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Windows CE/WindowsMobile did this mostly correct and almost transparant to the software supporting VGA displays when QVGA was the norm on smartphones years before apple invented the smartphone.

  11. Re:low tax places on How Apple Sidesteps Billions In Global Taxes · · Score: 1

    I was wondering the same; as a Dutch person I don't consider The Netherlands a 'low tax' place. If they manage to bend the rules to make it 'low tax' I would like to know how they did that...

    That will teach them for every piece of software I have had to endure who defaulted to a Letter paper-size...

  21. Re:Gnome 3 Shell on Fedora 15 Released · · Score: 1

    I can probably get used to it on my 10" netbook. It is a definite no-go for anything larger.

    My printer advise boils down to, if it doesn't support either pcl or ps don't buy it.

    This rules out most of the crappy inkjets and some multifunctionals.
